HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 438,932, dated October21, 1890. Application filed June 16,1890. Serial No. 355,631. (Nomodel.)

\ To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARY L. W. MARTINOT, of New York city, in the countyand State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement inHeaters, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to an improved heater especially designed for usein connection with gas and similar burners, and has for its object toprovide a device of simple and durable construction capable of use forheating water or other liquids or food and in heating the halls orapartments of buildings.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of theseveral parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed outin the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming apart ofthis specification, in which similar figures and letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts in all the Views.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the heater illustrated as applied to agas-burner. Fig. 2 is a central vertical transverse section through theheater. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the lower section of the burner,illustrating the said section as supporting a cup. Fig. 4 is a plan viewof the lower section, and Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the same.

The heater is constructed, preferably, in two sections-namely, an uppersection A and a lower section A. The lower section A consists of aburner 10, of any suitable or ap proved construction, adapted to receivegas from the burner 11 of the gas-bracket.

The burner of the heater, as illustrated, comprises a shell-like bodyprovided at its bot-tom with a central opening 12 to receive thebracket-burner and with a series of airapertures 13. The top 14 of theburner is constructed of gauze or equivalent material, and from themarginal edges of the top brackets 15 are projected upward and attachedto the bottom of a table 16, which table is preferably semicircular ingeneral contour, and the table is provided near its margin with anupwardly-extending and preferably continuous flange 17, the flangefollowing the shape of the table, and the table is further provided witha central opening 17 registering, or

practically so, with the burner. The table at its rear or straight edgehas formed integral therewith or attached to it a downwardly-eX- tendingshield 18, the said shield being adapted to protect any adjacentwood-work, for instance, from the heat generated by the gas-flame at thetop of the burner.

The upper section A comprises a drum 19, constructed of sheet-iron orother suitable material, and the cross-sectional contour of the drumcorresponds to the general contour of the table of the lower section.The drum is made of sufficient size at its base to rest upon the tablein contact with either the outer or the inner face of the flange 17. Inthe front circular face of the drum 19 at or near the upper end thereofa horizontal slot or opening 20 is produced,which slot or opening issurrounded by a hood 21, which hood extends outward at an angle to thedrum, the upper and lower sides being flared in opposite directions, asis best illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2. A shield 22 is attached to therear or straight face of the drum by means of brackets 23 or equivalentfastening devices, the functions of the said shield being the same asthose of the lower shield 18.

For heating purposes the lower section is placed upon the burner of thegas-bracket and the upper or drum section is placed in position upon thelower burner-section. The gas having been turned on and lighted atthegauze top of the burner, the heat ascends and finds an exit through theflaring hood 21,which causes the heat to radiate therefrom some distanceout into the room or passage to be heated, while the body of the drumitself also gives off a quantity of heat.

If the device is to be used for heating liquids, foods, &c., the uppersection is re moved and a cup 24 or other receptacle corresponding incontour to the space within the table-flange 17 is placed upon the saidtable, as shown in Fig. 3. In addition to the support from thegas-bracket burner, the device may be further supported if the burner isnear the wall by attaching the upper shield 22 to the wall.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a heaterconstructed in two detachable sections, the lower section consisting ofa burner and a table supported above the burner and the upper section ofa drum adapted to rest upon the tableand provided with an opening in oneface surrounded by an outwardly-flaring hood, substantially as shown anddescribed.

2. In a heater, the combination, with. a lower section consisting of aburner and a flanged table supported above the burner, of an uppersection comprising a hood adapted to rest upon the table in engagementwith the flange and provided with an opening in its outer face and anoutwardly-flaring hood surrounding the said opening, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

3. In aheater, the combination, with alower section comprising a burner,a table supported above the burner, having an opening registering withthe burner, a flange surrounding the said opening, and a shieldprojected downward from one marginal edge of the table, of an uppersection consisting of a drum conformingiu cross-section to the contourof the table-flange and provided in its front face With an opening, anoutwardly-flaring hood surrounding the opening of the drum, and a shieldattached to the rear of the drum, substantially as and for the purposespecified.

4. In aheater, the combination, with the burner, of a table supportedabove theburner and provided with an opening therein, a shield projecteddownward from the table at one side of the burner, and anupwardly-extending flange secured to the upper face of the tablesurrounding the opening therein,whereby a chamber is formed for thereception of a drum or other vessel, as specified.
